THE WHEAT EXCHANGE.
Probability of "a New Call board
Being started.

Being started.
SAN Francisco, August 17.-With
respect to the wheat market promi-
nent member of the call board is re-
ported to have said this morning that
there is talk of large faction of MEM
bers segre eating from the board and
starting a new call board. He thought
that it is time that an end should be
put to the one-man power. One of the
proposed changes in the rules OF the
call board confers almost absolute
authority on the directors, and by
gerting control of the board Dresbach
or any other leading spirit in the mar
ket could have things completely un-
der his control.
DULL MARKET.
Speaking this evening on wheat
matters in general, Secretary Fried
lander, of the call board, says:
"There is absolutely no market for
wheat except among the mills, and
that does not amount to much and
establishes no reliable or quotable
price for cereals.
WILL START AGAIN ON MONDAY.
"You may safely say that on Mon
day the board will resume business,
as bv that time all formalities and
Legislative changes will have been
effected.

THE COAL HANDLERS APOLOGY.
They Tell the Business Men They are sorr

They Tell the Business Men They are Sorry
TO Stop the Wheels of Commerce.
NEW YORK, Feb. G.--The five mass
meetings which were to be held to- day
in conformity with the mandate of the
District Assembly, knights of Labor, con
sisting of the striking longshoremen and
coal shovelers, failed to materialize to
any large extent. Every precaution was
taken by the police to suppress
any riotous demonstration. These
precautions, however, were unnecessary
as the meetings were SHINY attended
owing to the extremely cold weather pre-
vailing. About 400 were present at the
Union Square meeting. John McKenna
of the Ocean Association said the sisters
of the orphan asylum had wired to them
from cold, from lack Of COAL
to the asylum, but could not do it. He
had referred the sisters to the corpora
ton which had full control of the coal.
He then demanded to know why the sis
tiers did not apply to the priests to go and
get the coal. He declared that the priests
dared not protest against the corpora
tons or they would be crushed in the
same manner as DR.. McGlynn was.
John r Archibald said 1t was no mere
protest from the coal handlers, but pro-
test went up from united labor through
out the Union.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing
the obstinacy of the coal companies in re-
fusing the modest demands of the
strikers, and declaring the power of cor
porations to be inimicable to the
welfare of the state and nation,
also expressing symathy with the
business men in their present incon-
venlence through their inability to
ship goods and representing that the
strikers were forced to their present
course, and finally calling upon the bust
ness men to organize an exchange which
would be far from the Influences Of cor
porations.
Small meetings at which speeches of
similar nature were made were held at
square, Canal and West streets
and Rutgers square,

rates maintained. In order to transact
business, new tariffs must be issued ap-
plying to every station On the 5000 miles
of the Gould system, and meeting of
each of the thirty-seven associations
mentioned must be held before this can
be intelligently done. The result will be
that when the sixty days roll around
probably so per cent. of the rates will have
been fixed, and the other 80 per cent. will
have to suffer an arbitrary rate IN
til the necessary meetings shall have been
held The railroads are working earn
estly IN order to prevent any unnecessary
shock to the commercial interests of the
territory through which they pass, but it
will be impossible to attain the desired
end within the allotted sixty days, and q
great deal of friction will necessarily fol-
low. Scarcely an official can be found
who is not in favor of carrying the law
out to the letter. st. Louis Globe

The Fort Worth and Denver Seeking a
Right of Way Through the Ter
ritory-Home Notes.
Home Notes,

1t is expected that the Fort Worth and
Denver will be completed to Quanah
some day this week.
Mr.. George Potts, one of the contract
ors on the Fort Worth and Rio Grande,
was in Fort Worth yesterday.
Fort Worth now sees arrive and depart
daily from the depots in this city eighteen
pass niger trains, ard this number will be
increased to twenty-five before q great
while.
Jay Gould has, it is said, offered 50 ,OOO,
900 for the Denver, Texas and Gulf, which
runs from Denver to Pueblo, and is the
road to be extended to the Canadian to
meet the Fort Worth and Denver.
Gould's offer, rumor says, has been &C
cepted.
Railroad officials connected with the
roads which penetrate West and North
west Texas see in the present wet weather
nothing but good, for crops will be heavy
and immigration will be great. Fort
Worth is the gate, the entrepot, to West
and Northwest Texas.
The Fort Worth and Denver is asking
Congress for right of way through the
Indian Territory The Territory line, it
is understood, will be built to Dodge
City, Hans, and will probably leave the
main line at Wichita Falls, or 1t may be
that the Bowie, Montague and Burlington
line will be extended.
Mr.. Huntington desires to bring his
Southern Pacific system to North Texas
by junction with his Fort Worth and
New Orleans Road. He wishes to bring
the rich pineries of Southeast Texas to
the doors of the prairie country. He de-
sires to penetrate vast bod
les OF land he is interested in in North
west Texas, and he is said to be ready to
begin to do all these things. Hercules
aided the poor wagner who put his
shoulder to the wheel, and Mr.. Hunting
ton will doubtless aid the
cities on the proposed line
to the railroad they want
il the aforesaid cities will move in
the matter. Nothing is to be lost, but
much is to be gained by az effort. Why
not at once have meeting of committees
delegated by the cities of Woodvllle,
CT, ckett, Fairfield, Mexia, Waxahachie
and Fort Worth, to present to Mr. Hunt
ington the advantages to his system to be
gained by building this road? Let the
resources of the country be shown him
and the people say what they are willing
to do. The present time is our own, and
it is the proper thing to move in this
matter at once. Fort Worth is ready, and
THE GAZETTE knows that Colonel J. P.
Smith of Fort Worth can and will aid in
pushing the matter. Let Crockett and
the other cities speak and act.

Interstate Commerce Bill.

Now, that the interstate commerce bill
is to become law, the officials of the
great railway systems, notably those in
the traffic department, are preparing to
obey the law to the letter. A high off,
cial of one of the greatest corpora ions in
the country said yesterday to Globe-Dem-
ocrst reporter that there would be no eff
fort to evade the provisions Of the measure,
but that 1t would be simply impossible
for the roads to perfect their arrange
ments for obeying the law within sixty
days from now. The Missouri Pacific,
for instance, is in thirty-seven pools and
associations. 1t Is true that upon the
date when the Interstate commerce bill
becomes law pools are no
more, but the associations will
be kept up and reciprocal
